I was searching for some Korean recipes the last few days and found Maangchi's Cooking Show on youtube. She explains well and shows you how to cook Korean dishes in easy to understand steps. I love her videos!

If there is a korean national here who knows how to make a sweet and chili kimchi, I hope you can teach me. I always hear Kimchi and already tried it in one of the korean restaurant in our town. But sad thing was I was not satisfied to the taste. I am sure if a korean will make it, it will be better taste and more delicious.

I love stir-fry spinach! I have no problemo with finishing up half a plate of the spinach served at a wedding dinner in the chinese restaurant.

I have tried to prepare it at home but it usually turns out the taste too bitter or overcooked (soft and yucky). Does anyone have a recipe to share on cooking spinach in such that it come close to the restaurant standard? (maintain the "crispyness" and not too bitter)

What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?

Depends on the dish you want to make.
You can steam the spinach lightly first to lessen the bitterness. It can take on a harsh taste if you just throw it directly into the pan. You may also want to try using low heat so you can control the texture more easily.

You can also add butter if you want to buffer it further. This is not healthy but it can improve its taste. This is slightly more euroasian and less authentic Chinese, but nobody complained yet.

Thank you, Chuck, for the cooking idea! I'll try that out sometime.
